wow... sorry COMPLETELY missed that double post...
basically I read the first post (w/ the vote), started responding, went to do something else for a while... FINALLY finished responding, and didn't even notice that 2nd post until right now... anyways I kind of see what you're saying, but I also think you're misinterpreting it... I don't think he realized that the town can still win with town lynch + SK/scum crossfire.

However, you raise a good point because slips like that definately come up scum a lot. I'm going to have to ponder this one, but I'm starting to think PBuG = scum, MoS = sk or scum dunno which, but i'm lost on the third (could be Auda, but like I said.. I'm not completely convinced by the cases on him yet).

I might be forced have mercy on MoS if he claims SK.

Other than that, my vote stays firmly on him, he's the lynch for today. He's our best option.

kops, I still don't understand why you are so against me. But I'm still going to
vote MoS
because, whether DGB said so, I think MoS is scum. I have reasons for my votes, but usually DGB gets to the root of it. I don't vote for who I vote for because DGB said so (well, okay, my auda vote was, but I had the feeling either myself or auda would be lynched at that point), I vote for who I vote for because I agree with DGB and I didn't want to make a hasty vote for silly reasons before that. I think MoS is a good lynch at this point. Yes, I agree with DGB. No, I am not voting him
because
of DGB. Tomorrow, I'll probably vote kops first thing. And that's because I think kops is scum. But I don't think kops will be lynched today because I insist that kops is scum. I honestly believe that kops is scum, and that's that. If DGB really is screwing us all over, that she sure as hell deserves to win.

well, since it seems that #1 will win, the rule for night is that they'll both die!

regardless of this, Town, remember that the SK and Mafia have to target each other tonight. you may very well lynch the SK today (not confirming or denying anything; the FOS wagon has already changed a few times today afterall) the outcome of this game is still far from undecided.
so a robot, a cyborg, and a midget walk into a bar...

.... Look, I know this is your first time modding, but please stop interfering. The entire 2nd paragraph of that post is NOT something that any mod should be telling the town. In the interest of fair play, please keep it to vote counts, and lynch/dawn scenes.

But he's telling everybody, not just the Town!

Hey guys! That's our other Mafia or SK!

Oo-weee!

Also, you agree that MoS has lied but you won't vote for him, ha!

OK, there's one more hanging around.

But let's not find the third. Otherwise the SK and Mafia won't kill each other in the cross-fire.

======================

It's a fine balance.

Let's see what the SK's goals are tonight.

Case 1: The SK kills a Townie. He'll face one Mafia and one hopelessly lost Townie. Town will lose if the Townie is killed, or the Mafia is killed, or the SK is killed, tomorrow. Anything else will be a tie between the Mafia and the SK.

Case 2: The SK kills a Mafia. He'll face 2 Townies tomorrow. He won't end up in a tie endgame. He could actually win this game solo as easily as he would tie with the Mafia.

So we can assume that the SK will at least try to shoot a Mafiosi. In his respect, the SK is on our side. Tonight, at least, the SK is on the Town's side.

Let's now see what the Mafia's goals are, too.

Case 3: The Mafia kills the SK, and the SK kills a Townie. Tomorrow, it'll be one Mafia against 2 Townies. Clearly, that's better

Case 4: The Mafia kills a Townie, and the SK kills a Townie. Same as Case 1 above.

So... it's also in the Mafia's best interest to shoot down the SK.

To continue...

The SK and the Mafia are better off aiming at each other than aiming for Townies tonight.

And we've got one Mafia that outed himself (MoS) and a spare for the SK to target tonight (kops).

Have fun tonight, killers!

I think PBuG is scum.

He has followed DGB ON EVERY VOTE TODAY and comes up with crap to defend himself. The only reasons he gives is "because their scummy, not becuase DGB said so". Every time he does this he adds the possibility of a townie being wagoned, and that's definately not a pro town move. I'm not voting yet, as I think we should be hesitant at this point, but
big FOS: PBuG
for being a complete wagoner.

Heh, name wise we now have mulitple possible killers:

Petunias: Did know about Arthur at time of death (
from Life, the Universe and Everything
: "I got yanked involuntarily back into the physical world", pursued Agrajag, "as a bunch of petunias. In, I might add, a bowl *snip* On the way down," he snarled, "I couldn't help noticing a flashy looking whit spaceship. And looking out of a port on this flashy looking spaceship was a smug-looking Arthur Dent"), and the mod has said that he couldn't remember the name at the time.

Marvin: Possible SK, don't see him as mafia, just because he hates everyone

H2G2 Mk2: Was evil, brought about the destruction of Earth in Mostly Harmless

But we know we can't just go names right now, but I would guess purely from names that those three are our scum and SK.

I think PBuG is scum for definate, and for the other two I'm leaning towards Auda and MoS, but I'm unsure.

To summarise: Let's lynch PBuG!

unvote


I re-read, and I think that MoS meant to say that
because he's a Townie, if we lynch him, we will lose[/b]. Not that his role includes anything about automatic Town loss if he is lynched.

Still, I am disturbed by the_holy_thom's lack of mention of MoS, who was, until I removed my vote a minute ago, in jeopardy.

Looks like he might be trying to deflect attention from his scumbuddy onto himself.

Let's try this:

vote: the_holy_thom

Heh, is that everyone now then DGB?

If I'm trying to deflect the attention onto anyone, it's PBuG. I think he's scum, and as much as MoS annoyed me day 1, I think PBuG is more likely scum.

I didn't mention him as a "name killer" because a babelfish doesn't fit into that.

Oh, and also:

Just noticed it myself, but it appears that I did mention MoS in my last post. I didn't repeat my "unvote now" as I've made it perfectly clear that I think that's what should happen, and that I think PBuG is trying to wagon anyone he can. He's so far been sure that everyone apart from me, DGB and himself are scum.

Satisfied?

Yes, but PBuG tops my SK canditate list, and the SK is the Town's friend tonight.
He just wants anyone to die, see? He doesn't care who, Town, Mafia, as long as he survives. And since I am doing a lot of talking, he's sucking up to me in the hope that I will defend him. I can read between the lines. He's telling me he's the SK, and I hear him loud and clear. If he were scum, he wouldn't be following me on
every vote
and I've pretty much voted everybody.

Let's line up the claims again:
PBug: petunias (SK as per DGB)
kops: Guide (scum as per THT)
Aud: Marvin
MoS: babelfish (role seems innofensive)
the_holy_thom: ?
myself: ? (Town)

Between Aud (Marvin) and THT (?), there would be one scum and one Town...

I don't trust you anymore, THT. Maybe you should claim.

Not entirely. It's quite an odd little book, and by far the bleakest of the trilogy. Basically the guide is taken over by an evil corporation who make it into some mega time-controling super book that can turn into a bird. Don't worry, I haven't got a clue what the hell it's going on about either, but eventually it ends up bringing about the destruction of
a
earth. I won't say any more else it will spoil things for you if you read it.

I'd be happy to claim DGB, as I have nothing to hide: I'm Zaphod Bebblebrox, and my sole purpose was to draw fire away from Arthur, as he is (or was) being chased by the mafia, which I obviously excelled at.

About PBuG: Whether or not he's trying to signal to you that he wants your protection, he definately isn't helping the town. Every time he wagons your vote, he risks the possibility of a quick lynch, which we really don't want. The SK may be our friend, but PBuG isn't.

And can I ask what I did to lose your trust? I haven't been putting the town in danger, I haven't been spouting crap logic or WIFOM and I haven't been lurking. Instead I've been trying to get people to talk, not vote. (note: I'm insinuating that you or anyone else is doing these things, they're just examples of anti-town behaviour).

That's everyone claimed except you DGB, and there aren't many characters left (5 books, yet so few names? odd when you think about it), so you may as well get it over with.

THT, I'm not all that suspicious of you, however, I had to pretend to be in order to get more info out of you.

As obliquely hinted at in my first post (or second? too lazy to check) I am Slartibartfast. I won an award for my design of the coast of Norway.

hmm... Interesting... my role pm mentions absolutely nothing of this, so I suppose that my role must be "timeset" before this actually happened. Basically my pm tells me that I was designed to help hitchikers around the galaxy, and I especially need to help out Arthur Dent (doesn't mention anything of the mafia chasing him though...) and that's just about it (plus obviously, that I'm just a vanilla townie). Honestly, I would have expected to be a cop based on the role (y'know... having a lot of information about a lot of stuff all over the galaxy), but what with all the other weird roles, you never know.

If you're Mark 2, I expect you to be scum :P

Sorry, if I seriously call you scum I'll find something better than that to base it on, don't worry.

Got to say that from my name, I expected a role; when I was reading the PM, it went "Zaphod? Yey! Here comes the ... townie? Aww."

@DGB: I guessed, as you were moving from player to player. Got some nice responses too ;) The onlything that surprised me is that PBuG hasn't wagoned yet, but that's probably because he hasn't posted.

SCUM ORDER:
PBuG
Auda
MoS
kops
DGB
THT

One of the top 3 is the SK IMO, we could do with not lynching them.

Brilliantly, if we lynch scum, then scum and SK target each other, we could wake up and win!

I was happy with my vote. DGB has been throwing crazy accusations all over the place in an attempt to get someone bandwagoned. Her only redeeming factor is that she realized how wrong she was about that whole LAL thing. I will
unvote
for now any think things over.

BTW, if you must know:

Scum List:

mafia - DGB, Kops, THT in no particular order

SK - PBug or Auda

Until Kops and THT were called out, both of them seemed to be flying completely under the radar, which worries me. When I forget to think about someone when I remind myself who could be scum, that's a BAD SIGN.

PBug has been bandwagoning wherever he can so far, but he could be a mafia trying to make himself look like the SK. It's highly likely that the mafia decided last night that one of them should make themselves look like the SK to avoid being lynched and hopefully get a townie today.

Am I as under the radar as you MoS?

Posts today:
Me: 21 (not including this one)
DG: 31
kops: 15
PBuG: 30
Auda: 7
MoS: 8

So that's another stupid thing said! Really, try and you know, think before you post. It helps everyone. Also, don't commit gross hypocrisy like you have in this game.

Also, I love the way your model doesn't have any townies in - nice work there. Sure sign of an SK - thinks everyone is against him.

Basically you've reiterated what I said with some crap thrown in. Nice work there. About as much use as you've been all game.

DG hasn't been wagoning - that was PBuG, whom I think should be today's lynch. DG has been measuring people's reactions, and your reaction when she voted for kops was classic.

Yep.

MoS is our guy.

Lurks at a critical period of the game.

In addition to his reaction when I voted kops, MoS sandwiched kops right between myself and THT in his latest missive - in my biased opinion, the two least suspicious characters. The natural way to enumerate would be kops, DGB and THT, or DGB, THT, and kops. Because THT and myself have been thinking along the same lines to some degree, and again to some degree, have been against kops. Why kops in the middle? Small detail. But a bee in my bonnet nonetheless.

In don't want to lynch PBuG because he's probably the SK.

I'd rather lynch MoS.

Shall we?

Well, if I'm anything, I'm not the SK. I'm not at all trying to give you
that
idea. But I do want to survive, so I don't really care who gets lynched, as long as it's auda, kops, or MoS. I honestly think you're either town or the SK, DG. I also think THT is town just because I haven't found anything he's said scummy. auda just barely makes my list because he's been lurking since we focus was switched. MoS, now he's obvious. And I can't stand kops. I did not vote kops for any reason other than I think kops is scum. I think the mafia is probably MoS and kops at this point, and I think the SK is auda. And, THT, not every vote, I didn't vote for you. I don't think you're any sort of scum. Oh, well, I guess I shouldn't disappoint:
unvote, Vote: thom, unvote, Vote: MoS
. There, I'm satisfied.
